UNITED STATES HAROLD BUBB, OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.
SHIRT.
Application filed January 19, 1927. Serial No. 162,008.
This invention relates to garments gen- .erally of the sweater type, and more particularly those designed for use in athletics and popularly known as sweat shirts.
The principal object of the invention 1s to provide a pull-over garment of the kind referred to made of the usual heavy woven material to afford the desired warmth and ha'ving built into the sleeves thereof panels or gores of ribbed knit material which, being elastic, will afford the desired amount of give so that the wearer has perfect freedom of the arms and shoulders and of the head as well and is not in the least encumbered, the elasticity built into the garment being also desirable from the standpoint of making it easier to put on or take off and generally more comfortable to wear. Aside from these practical advantages secured in making the garment in accordance with my invention, may be mentioned the further distinct advantage of the greatly enhanced appearance of a garment of this kind which is found to render the same much preferred to the ordinary unimproved garment.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a garment made as stated above to avoid the necessity for providing as many intermediate sizes as were otherwise required 1 to be carried in stock, the minor variations in size or stature being accommodated by the elasticity of the garment.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages of my invention will appear in the course of the following description, in Which Figure 1 is a front view of a garment made in accordance with my invention, one of the sleeves thereof being shown in a osition to better convey an impression of t e appear ance of the garment; and
Fig. 2 is a plan view with the sleeves extended full length and laid flat to better illustrate the construction.
The same reference numerals are applied to corresponding parts in the two views.
The garment with which the resent invention is concerned is commonly nown as a sweat shirt and is used by basket ball players before and after playing or between halves, because of the great warmth thereof serving to keep the playerfit. It is, however, used generally in athletics and in training uarters. The service conditions require t at the garment shall not encumber the wearer but should permit perfect freedom of movement of the arms, shoulders, and the head, and, inasmuch as the garment is put on only for intervals, it also becomes important that the garment be easy to put on and take off. The garment constructed as herein described meets all these requirements by reason of the great warmth of the material of which it is mainly built u and, by reason of the elasticity or give of t e ribbed knit material inserted in the sleeves and shoulders and at the neck. The heavy woven material has practically no give to it but is primaril for warmth whereas the knit material aflt'or s the desired amount of give in the arts where it is especially required such as 1n the arms and shoulders and about the neck.
In the drawing the. body part of the garment designated by the reference numeral 5 is made of any suitable heav woven material and the same is true in t e main of the sleeves 6. This material is primarily for warmth and has practicallyrnogive to it and, as a result, a garment made up almost entirely of this material is hard to put on or take off, is rather uncomfortable to wear, and is burdensome when the wearer is in play, inasmuch as it does not afford the desired freedom of movement of the arms, shoulders, and head. Garments of such a plain, unimproved construction have been provided in the past made with a waistband wristbands 8, and neckband 9 of ribbed knit material but have been considered unsatisfactory for the reasons stated. According to the present invention, I provide panels or gores 10 of ribbed knit material similar to that in the waistband, wristbands, and neckband extending lengthwise of the outer sides of the sleeves 6 from the wristbands 8 up to the neckband 9, the panels being preferably in oneiece lengths, ribbed lon itudinally as in icated by the lines in 0th views, and extending over the rid e ofthe shoulders, as most clearly a pears 1n Fi 1. I prefer to have the pane s 10 tapere in form narrowing from substantially the full width of the neck toward the outer ends of the arms, thus giving a proportionately greater amount of give at the shoulders where it is most required and about the neck 'where it is also desirable from the standpoint of making the garment easy to put on and take off. 'Two small V-gores 11 are provided in the shirt or body portion 5 extending down from the neck bank between the shoulders at the front and back. They afford the desired amount of give across the shoulders and increase the amount of give about the neck which further facilitates the matter of putting on and taking oif the garment as the head can be brought throu h the neck band with greater case. It is bedieved obvious that a garment made up in the manner described will give perfect freedom of movement for the arms, shoulders and head of the wearer and will not in any way bur-L den the wearer if he desires to use the same during practice, for example, or in general training activity. The give afforded in the arms, across the shoulders, and about the neck easily accommodates minor variations in size or stature so that the garments made in accordance with the present invention are usuallyprovided in sizes 30, 34:, 38, and 42, instead of their having to be provided in so many intermediate sizes as, for example, 30, 3Q, 34, 36, etc. Aside from the practical advantages just enumerated, too much stress cannot be laid upon the fact that the present invention provides a garment of greatly enhanced appearance over anything that has been provided in the past in a similar kind of garment. The panels or gores 10 and 11 are usually provided in a contrasting color from that of the body and sleeves so as to better set off the garment and it has been found that it is much preferred to the old, plain garment because of its much improved appearance. In the cases of schools and colleges, it has been the practice to provide the present garments in the school colors with the body and sleeve materials of one color and the panels or gores together with the waist band, wrist bands, and neck band of another color.
It is believed that this description gives a full understanding of the present invention so that its objects and advantages will be readily apparent to anyone skilled in the art. While in the description of the present invention special reference has been made to sweat shirts, it will be obvious that the invention is applicable to sweaters, jackets an garments o a similar general type without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is, therefore, the endeavor in the accompanying claims to include all legitimate modifications, adaptations and variations of the invention as would naturally occur to anyone skilled in the art after a disclosure of the present invention.
1 claim:
1. A garment of the character described, comprising an overshirt of relatively nonstretchable material, the sleeves being of similar material but provided with panel inserts extending lengthwise thereof and continuing over the shoulders up to the neck, the panel material being relatively elastic to provide the desired amount of give in the proper parts of the garment.
2. In a garment as set forth in claim 1 wherein the neck is provided of similar material to the panels, the provision of the panels of tapered form narrowing from the neck toward the outer ends of the sleeves whereby to afford give in proportionate degrees in the arms and at the shoulders.
3. A garment as set forth in claim 1 wherein the panels are of tapering form narrowing from the neck toward the outer ends of the sleeves whereby to afford the desired proportionate amounts of give at the shoulders and in the arms.
In witness of the foregoing I aflix my signature.
HAROLD L. BURR.
